Cells are constantly exposed to stress. Most of those stresses do not necessarily cause cell death or visible damage. The present study explores the way the immune system responds to such sub lethal stressed cells.
Cells exposed to sublethal oxidative stress selectively attract monocytes/macrophages via scavenger receptors and MyD88-mediated signaling.

View SamplesThe goal of the study was to compare transcriptome changes in HeLa cells after infection with recombinant Thogoto virus (wild-type, ML deletioin mutant or ML SW mutant not able to interact wiith TFIIB. While wild-type virus is able to inhibit inflammatory genes, ML deletion mutant and TFIIB-non-interacting mutant lose this effect on gene transcription. Overall design: Examination of transcriptome changes in HeLa cells under steady state or after THOV infection using Illumina HiSeq.
Viral targeting of TFIIB impairs de novo polymerase II recruitment and affects antiviral immunity.

View SamplesAML1-ETO expression in normal human umbilical cord blood CD34+ cells leads to long-term proliferation of an early self-renewing primitive progenitor cell with multilineage potential and stem cell ability, but these cells do not induce leukemia in immunodeficient mice. This comparative microarray study was initiated to determine the differences in the transcriptome of AML-ETO-expressing CD34+ cells after extended culture in vitro, using normal cord blood cells expanded for 6-8 weeks in vitro and subsequently purified for the CD34+ population as the control comparison.
p53 signaling in response to increased DNA damage sensitizes AML1-ETO cells to stress-induced death.

View Samplesp53 is a pivotal tumor suppressor and a major barrier against cancer. We now report that silencing of the Hippo pathway tumor suppressors LATS1 and LATS2 in non-transformed mammary epithelial cells reduces p53 phosphorylation and increases its association with the p52 NF-?B subunit. Moreover, it partly shifts p53’s conformation and transcriptional output towards a state resembling cancer-associated p53 mutants, and endow p53 with the ability to promote cell migration. Notably, LATS1 and LATS2 are frequently downregulated in breast cancer; we propose that such downregulation might benefit cancer by converting p53 from a tumor suppressor into a tumor facilitator. Overall design: MCF10A cells transfected with siRNA against LATS1/2 alone, p53 alone or LATS1/2 and p53 together. Two independent MCF10A batches provided biological replicates
Down-regulation of LATS kinases alters p53 to promote cell migration.

View SamplesSenescence is a state of stable cell cycle exit that has important implications for development, physiology and disease. It is distinct from quiescence in which cells can be induced to re-enter the cell cycle. Although it is well known that there are massive changes in the heterochromatin of senescent cells, the molecular mechanisms underpinning the transition from reversible quiescence into irreversible senescence have remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate that the chromatin-remodeling enzyme ATRX is required for senescence. ATRX accumulates in nuclear foci during both replicative and cellular senescence. Using ChIP-seq and RNA-seq we identified HRAS as part of an ATRX regulated gene expression program associated with senescence. Repression of HRAS is sufficient to promote the transition of quiescent cells into senescence. Thus we conclude that the repression of HRAS is likely a direct consequence of ATRX binding and critical to how it mediates its role in senescence. Overall design: mRNA expression profiles were analyzed in dedifferentiated liposarcoma cell lines under cycling, quiescent and senescent (using two unique inducers) conditions via RNA-seq
ATRX is a regulator of therapy induced senescence in human cells.
